@MMcEwanGolf Why is it so hard for people like you to understand that not all podcasters are trying to be journalists?
English

Every golf organisation that panders to this guy and his cabal should see this. The jig is up. A big profile doesn’t make you a credible journalist. Behaving according to the guiding principles of journalism makes you a credible journalist. Cosplay on your own time.

🚨🐅🚔 #WATCH — Fore Play Podcast star, @RiggsBarstool on Tiger Woods DUI arrest: “You think I told our team to not post about Tiger Woods DUI and to protect him, you’re goddamn right I did…”
English

What the PGA Tour and Brian Rolapp do next matters.
Tiger Woods has been arrested for DUI, his second. Police confirmed the DUI does NOT relate to alcohol! He refused a urine test. He also crashed his vehicle into another, causing property damage. Thankfully- No one was hurt.
Nobody wants to see Tiger suffer. He’s been through more physically than almost any athlete in history and the sport owes him an enormous debt.
BUT….none of that changes what the PGA Tour’s own rulebook says.
“Conduct unbecoming a professional” covers alcohol-related incidents AND any behaviour that reflects unfavourably on the Tour, on or off the course. The punishment can range from a fine to suspension to permanent disbarment.
Here’s what makes this uniquely complicated: Tiger isn’t just a Tour member. He sits on the PGA Tour Policy Board. He chairs the Future Competition Committee. He is, right now, one of the most powerful people in the governance of the sport.
If the law finds him guilty, or imposes any formal punishment, a fine, community service, mandatory programme, anything, the Tour cannot look the other way.
For any other member, a second DUI arrest resulting in legal consequence would almost certainly trigger a conduct review. The rules don’t have a carve-out for legends.
If the PGA Tour applies the rulebook selectively, protecting Tiger because of who he is, it undermines every disciplinary decision it has ever made or will ever make. That’s not a small thing.
The right response isn’t to pile on Tiger. It’s to follow the process, transparently and consistently. That’s what integrity looks like.
What happens next will tell us a lot about whether the Tour means what it says.

@TomRyanKY FanDuel didn’t even want horse racing. They wanted the channel. Nobody will touch racing with a ten foot pole at this point. 10-k stats below.

Another unmitigated disaster. It's very concerning to read about FanDuel TV. If they're stepping back from horse racing coverage, DraftKings should be looking at this right now.
Not saying they need to buy the whole thing, but there could be a real opportunity to pick up key assets—studio gear, sets, graphics, maybe even talent.
If DK Horse wanted it, they would instantly have a clearer path to serve the old TVG-style user base, and it could give them a faster, more professional racing media product without building everything from scratch.
FanDuel gets leaner. DraftKings gets a shortcut.

So trainer charges about $3500 a month to keep a horse in training but does not make any money. Throw in farrier, vet, depreciation, etc. charges and your horse needs to make 100k per year (with some wild variance depending on buy-in) for the owner to break even. Tough game.

Brooks is coming, y’all. Sneaky Masters pick if he can find anything with the putter.
data golf@DataGolf
Brooks is getting hot with his irons again at Valspar, currently 4th today on approach (+3.6 after gaining a stroke in R1). This is becoming a theme for BK, who is 4th in adjusted SG: Approach on Tour this season. Something worth monitoring as we head into major season...

@racetrackandy @EmilyOptixEQ One surefire way to go broke, bet horses everyday. 😁

5 Days ago the multi talented Emily made the post below. It is EXACTLY what many of us have been saying for years. The great part is that the solution is so simple. Focus on the Gambling part of the game and all that goes with it. Grow the game
@EmilyOptixEQ
"what if instead of just a couple spot play days of the year, horse racing focused around the strategy, the excitement, the work of playing the game everyday"

@BLED_ @GuardianLux13 It’s a bad gig if you care about what you’re playing lol.
English

@JoshuaHedley @GuardianLux13 Not a bad gig to cover. 7 days a week the way Broadway is now.

@GuardianLux13 @BLED_ It’s not thaaaat rare, you just have to play at Kid Rocks unfortunately.

The all plays data from #NHC2026 is as always very interesting. To cash you need to be right about winners 20% of the time. To make the final table... well there is a spectrum Tommy Lenberg was right 34% of the time (18 winners) that paid on average $11. Roger Mcdow was right 19.2% of the time.

I am ALL for having racing on in prime time. (the BC in Cali should be every time)
But you’re asking alottttttt of the hard working people who take care of the horses to end racing at what 9pm Friday night then start racing again at 945am the next morning…………..

Churchill Downs is moving the Kentucky Oaks race to primetime on May 1, aiming for a broader national audience and increased wagering. Read more: tinyurl.com/3a4sn5v3

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Orange County Choppers: From $40M empire to bankruptcy
In 2009, a reality TV star threw a chair at his own son on national television. Paul Teutul Sr., covered in tattoos and built like a tank, exploded in anger at his son, Paul Jr., for showing up at 7:45 instead of the expected 7:00 a.m. What followed was a heated argument that turned physical, with both father and son throwing chairs. The moment was dramatic, chaotic, and eventually watched over 100 million times online, becoming one of the most iconic clips in reality TV history.
But what the meme doesn’t show is that this fight was at the heart of something much bigger. It marked the beginning of the collapse of Orange County Choppers, a business that was once doing $40 million a year in revenue. At its peak, the company had built a $13 million headquarters in upstate New York and was drawing 3.4 million viewers per episode.
By the time that viral moment resurfaced online years later, the business was already falling apart. Paul Sr., the majority owner, had filed for bankruptcy, and that $13 million headquarters was eventually sold for pennies on the dollar. This is the rise and fall of Orange County Choppers.
